COTE: A Man On A Mission II Love is War?

But the smile quickly faded.
　　
Because Sakayanagi has analyzed that Hikigaya-kun probably got the papers from her for nothing, and then his class is safe.

'But now that he can eat with Ichinose-san... that is to say, something extra happened'

It is possible that the paper was also shared with Class B.
　　
"Hikigaya-kun won't take the initiative to contact girls, so someone must have interfered." Sakayanagi curled her lips, in utter contempt, “It seems that Vice President Nagumo took action."

"Vice President Nagumo?" Besides, being a student of Class A, and having the bad reputation of being a loyal puppy, she is also a member of the Sakayanagi faction.

People often think of her as the popular person around their leader.

Therefore, the collected information was reported to Kamuro-san and then passed on to Sakayanagi.
　　
Among them, Nagumo's birth certificate has also been obtained.

Ass-wiper of the 2nd grade.
　　
Others are just leaders of a class, but this slut named, Nagumo Miyabi, is very twisted, likes to make sure if 2nd grade's booty is properly cleaned.

No signs of brown matter inside.....

But these are known things, and when Sakayanagi went to attack the student council, she had already turned against him.
　　
"It seems that Nagumo-senpai's mind is quite distorted,” Sakayanagi didn't hesitate to ridicule him, for this creepy behaviour, “Probably wants to help Class B to get their chips, or use them as a pawn to attack me."

“What a shitty guy.....And Hikigaya-kun may have understood this bad attitude....," Then Sakayanagi seemed to get bright all of sudden, “Despite being hopeless, his attack power is actually very strong. After forming an alliance with Class B, he definitely..... doesn't want to see them taken away by Nagumo-senpai."

"What do you mean? Isn't this just an old trick to create a harem?" Kamuro-san looked over in confusion, she didn't think, this move was much impressive.

“....” Sakayanagi. 'Kamuro-san's brain is really full of crap, she could easily pass for being a toilet.'

"Since Nagumo-senpai wants to displease me, I will take note of this grudge first."

"Then, at a critical moment, I'll give him a nice gift” 'Then you are terrible!:
　
Because Kamuro-san, who had to undergo a throbbing punishment for tearing Sakayanagi's teddy bear, didn't think there would be some kind of chocolate frog inside that gift.

So, she just started to eat quietly. Today was Sakayanagi's treat, so Kamuro-san naturally had to eat better.'Rather, damn Hikigaya, that weasel cheated me out of 100,000 points?!'

Result, now she has to please Sakayanagi to get back her missing income. “Huh...What're you on about, Kamuro-san? I should be the one to complain here?!' There was also another girl in the 1st grade whose salary was too low.

And on the other side, outside the private room.
　　
The canteen on the third floor is relatively expensive, and only few students usually come here, but they can often see faculty and staff.

'It’s not surprising that teachers are paid relatively well and eat better..'

Only.
　
"Hikigaya-kun, things here are really expensive” Ichinose said sheepishly.　

Today she was invited over by this boy from Class C, and then...well. She was called to treat guests to dinner.
　　
And Ichinose herself knew that this time she had accepted a favor from this Hikigaya-kun.

Both her and Kanzaki received a message from Nagumo-senpai.
　　
It shows that for this special exam, the person who reported the old questions was a student of Class A.

At the same time, they also prepared the new test questions in advance.

Then the school adopted those papers, to make this trouble caused by a free loader named, Hikigaya Hachiman go away.

This operation is simply incredible.
　　
But it is confirmed. Class A actually got the test questions this time..... Definitely be rewarded with 100 class points.

As a student of Class B, they will be distanced from their target again.
　　
But, if those birds can also be obtained, then the current gap.....

Nagumo-senpai said that he could send them photos of the papers for free.....this kind of thing is obviously a violation. 'Do I really need to get this paper?' Everyone in their class has actually been studying hard this month.
　　
They may not be able to get 100-points reward, but a score of 80 can be managed easily.
　　
That's why, the desire to obtain test papers from Nagumo-senpai is not very strong.

However, from the time they entered school until now, both Ichinose and Kanzaki felt that they had not performed well.

Nothing positive was brought to the class.
　　
But, now that there was an opportunity like this in front of them, both of them seemed very hesitant.

And eventually, Kanzaki's mind exploded, and told Ichinose to stay away from this of golden egg.....which may only have shit inside.

However, they still kept an eye on it.
　　
Hikigaya-kun had reminded Ichinose before that Nagumo-senpai was dangerous and the real Ass-wiper of the Second grade.

Trading with the other party is very risky, he may come to check their backs.....

Nagumo-senpai said that he would give them the papers for free, but Kanzaki didn't dare to take free things...And, Ichinose has yet to make a decision.

Among the photos sent by Hikigaya-kun last night, there were surprisingly two photos of test papers...that was secretly gifted by Nagumo-senpai.

'In other words, Hikigaya-kun directly leaked the information about the papers to me....

In this way. She avoided making a deal with Nagumo-senpai, who had a very high risk factor.

At the same time, it also gives their class an opportunity to obtain 100-points. 'Then, isn't it reasonable to treat Hikigaya-kun to a meal or something?'
　　
However, what she ordered for this boy was a tempura set with 2,200 private points, but only bought udon for herself..... Cost 600 points.

And she probably noticed Hachiman looking at her plate.

"Actually, I'm not that rich." Ichinose said, seemingly embarrassed. "I think the 600-point udon is also delicious...."

"Then you are really easy to make ends meet." He gave her a nice compliment, and took a last bite of this extremely delicious tempura. (It even looks more appetising to him for some reason)

"Now that I've eaten your meal," Hachiman said, while wiping his mouth with a napkin, "Then I'll consider us even."

“.....” Ichinose.

"Eh..." This statement surprised even this angelic girl, with slightly dirty mind, "No, this favor is actually..."
　　
She felt that the other party's way of asking her to repay the favor was a bit too cheap.....

This is not just as simple as the class evaluation score of + 100 points.
　　
But.... can also be used as a line of defense to ensure that no students in her class will drop out.

Although most students have good academic abilities, there are one or two people who are not confident.

So, if they know the test questions in advance, Ichinose can save everyone, which is the icing on the cake.

As for the said girl, she likes her current class very much, and definitely doesn't want any students to drop out.
　　
As a result, this favor from Hikigaya-kun was very important to Ichinose.

But the other party just wanted a meal worth 2,200 personal points, which was too frugal or.... very expensive. Um?　

"We are allies," Hachiman waved his right hand, in a non-chalant gesture, and opened his mouth, "It's not a good thing to care about each other so much."

"Besides, the top student in your class also came to make up lessons....and don't think I haven't noticed Kanzaki's long face”

"Uh..." Ichinose couldn't refute these words, her staff member wasn't really in a good health right now.

Kanzaki-kun's face always looks quite tired after tutoring the students of Class C, and.....starts to curse some very beautiful words.... but the matter didn't end there, because he wasn't the only one in this condition.
　　
"Then, can you tell me about this Nagumo-senpai? I just heard the rumours of him being an Ass-kisser?" Hachiman then thought, it would be better to gain some new intel about his enemy.

"Nagumo...senpai-" Ichinose may have felt a little guilty about Hikigaya-kun, so she told him about the birth-certificate of the Vice-president that was going around the whole school.

It's not really important, he was the upperclassman who invited her to join the student council to help out.

As a direct senior, Nagumo-senpai seems to want to guide and assist them.

Then this time, they were informed about the test papers created by Class A's leader, named Sakayanagi Arisu.
　　
And if necessary, he can also use his identity as a Student council member to conduct illegal operations.

Hachiman nodded listening to her pretty description, about the Vice-president being a ghost inside the office.

'It seems that second-year Nagumo-senpai is indeed in contact with Class B' The reason for contacting them is also very simple.
　　
Sakayanagi Arisu, a student of Class A, has already gone to the council for stealing Horikita-nii's favourite chair.

There were even rumours, about the President ordering this from another reality.....Very expensive.

It is already difficult for Nagumo to contact Class A directly.... And obviously there is no point in wiping lower-level classes like C or D.

But it's different when he starts to invade Class B's territory.

They have the configuration to rush to A, and Nagumo was also born in
Class B.

For the students of 1st Grade Class B, he is like their direct senior, who achieve the impossible.

It's easy to have a relationship. And they become closer, the chance to mop their butt is not far away.

There's even of chances of breaking into their room at night. Not very safe.

Hachiman didn't have a single doubt about his bottom line, he must have such strength. Otherwise, the opponent will not be able to clean the second grade.

"I think it's best if our 1st-year special exams don't get interfered with by upperclassmen," Hachiman thought about trying another method, make the other party seem weak, “It only makes you look pitiful among other classes, that Class B needs to lick other people's shoes....But if you don't care about this fame, and Nagumo-senpai is willing to help you to get a prom-

“We, Class B, will not do such a thing!" Ichinose almost spat the water that was still inside her throat, and picked up a napkin just in case. Then shook her head quickly, “You are right, it's not fair to other people!"

'So, you are very decent...Hachiman has confirmed that if there is a real battle, then Class B will probably be finished.

Because.
　　
Class competition, for example, Hachiman obtained information such as anonymous point cards, which shows that the school is definitely not looking for students like Ichinose Honami.

'If you are too upright and positive, it actually does not meet the requirements of this school.'

'Therefore, when the war really starts, Ichinose.....you might end up at the bottom.' Hachiman gave a prophecy, even though he didn't took Divination in his third year of junior high school..

However, Class B, which is currently quite weak, is a very good thing for our Hachiman.

After all, his goal is to attack Class A. If Class B also becomes stronger, then he will have to fight them too, which is very laborious.

So, the current Class B, which has no attack power, is in line with his expectations.

Only, Hachiman noticed a weird looking person among the crowd, said. "Do you know that man?" He looked at the table in front of him.
　　
There was a middle-aged man with short silver hair and black-rimmed glasses who finished his meal, took out a tissue and wiped his hands before leaving.

Although he is a middle-aged man, but moves very elegantly, obviously has good education, just like a gentleman.

"It always feels like someone I know." Hachiman's eyes seemed to be looking at his handsome features. 'I could have sworn....'

"It seems that the faculty members also comes to eat on this floor, and that man..." Ichinose also looked over, at the direction he was pointing out, and checked inside her mind to quickly match the image, “I met him once in the elevator. At that time, our class teacher Hoshinomiya Chie said hello to him."

Hachiman nodded his head, "It seems that Chairman Sakayanagi is trying to call someone,” But the girl sitting in front of him didn't seem to stop her mouth, and revealed some shocking news that seemed to blow his mind away.

'Sakayanagi... Chairman'

'Sakayanagi.' ???

“....” Hachiman. He just couldn't respond after hearing this. 'So, that's why I felt that...the other person looks familiar?'

Because he has short silver hair.
　　
Among the people he knew with the same hair quality, there was a dangerous being who also had silver hair like this.

And the identity of the that person is...Sakayanagi Arisu, Class A of the first grade.

Hey hey hey, is this really true?!
　　
Hachiman suddenly realized that this stupid competition between classes was already....a farce from the beginning.

'Because, the father of the opponent I wanted to defeat turned out to be a high-ranking official in this school....'
　　
It's the person who sets the exam questions.

'I thought she was a rich woman before.... but now, it's really Miss Sakayanagi.' The rich woman is indeed around, and.....'What I want to become is a house-husband.'

“.....” Hachiman.
